Trains And Rails, Camera and Lights

If I tell you that last week was my first time fully seeing a train, would you believe me? Well, sure as hell it's true. I've never set my eyes on a train until last December.

I spent most of my early years in the southern part of Nigeria mostly Uyo where you only see a train or railway in movies. Recently I moved to a new town in Abuja where the have a rail track passing through the community.

At first I was excited that I'm going to see a train for the first time but weeks went by I never had a chance to be at the rail track when a train is passing.

Then it finally came, I was out on Sunday sitting by the tracks waiting patiently for it to come and I took a few of these shots.

Well, now that have accomplish that, my next goal will be to travel in one. When I was making plans to attend Steemfest in November, I planned to travelled first to Italy and then use a train through Europe to Poland. That definitely didn't come to pass, so it's still in the to-do list for this year to travel in a train?

Do forgive my photography skills. Have you travelled in a train before? What was the experience like.
